JANE HAMMOND (American, b. 1950) Tabula Rosa, 2001 Color inkjet print 75 1/2 x 30 1/4” 2009.1 Museum Purchase with funds from Mrs. Martha Smith by exchange	Jump Cut Pop Evans + Fukui + Hammond + Paolozzi + Rosler + Yokoo July 22 – October 4, 2009 The Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University will present the exhibition Jump Cut Pop featuring works by modern and contemporary artists inspired by the Pop Art movement. Organized by the Haggerty and featuring over fifty works, Jump Cut Pop includes works from the mid 1960s to 2008. The artists confront contemporary social, political, and historical issues utilizing poster design, printmaking, painting, photography, collage and video. The works are typically graphic in execution and palette, presenting complex image relationships in multi-layered collaged formats. Works by Eduardo Paolozzi, Tadanori Yokoo and Jane Hammond are drawn from the museum’s permanent collection. Acquired in the early 1980s, the two portfolios by Eduardo Paolozzi, General Dynamic F.U.N, 1970 and Conditional Probability Machine, 1970 and the vintage offset lithographs by international recognized graphic artist Tadanori Yokoo will be presented at the Haggerty for the first time along with works on loan from museums, galleries and private collections. Artists also included in Jump Cut Pop are Cliff Evans, Nobu Fukui, and Martha Rosler. The exhibition explores the strategies of six artists who juxtapose photo-based images drawn from popular culture with text and/or seemingly unrelated popular images. The artists draw from a confluence of sources, exerting a degree of compositional freedom with little conscious regard for historical continuity or visual hierarchy. The juxtapositions often suggest that images are interesting unto themselves, divorced from their inherent meaning by their proximity to other completely unrelated images. Appropriated photos and comics are among the sources most favored by this group. Pop art is the underlying influence for these artists. Pop began in the mid-50s in Britain and the late 50s in the United States. The movement challenged the importance of the artist’s hand that was synonymous with Abstract Expressionism, in lieu of celebrating banal images of popular culture twinged with irony. Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005), one of the artists included in the exhibition, first utilized the word “pop” in a 1952 collage. Paolozzi was a member of the Independent Group, the British collective of artists who fully embraced American popular culture and mass advertising as the source of their subject matter. An opening talk, Always Coming Home, by Martha Rosler will be given on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 at 6 p.m. Currently an instructor at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, Martha Rosler was born in Brooklyn, New York, earned her B.A. at Brooklyn College in 1965 and her M.F.A. from University of California, San Diego in 1974. Rosler works in video, photo-text, installation, performance and writes criticism. Rosler has ten published books including photographs, texts, and commentary on public space, ranging from airports and roads to housing and homelessness. She has produced numerous other "Word Works" and photo-text publications, now analyzing imagery of women or exploring responses to repression, crisis, and war.
SHAHRIAR TAVAKOLI My Family (Hallelujah 2)	Persian Visions Contemporary Photography from Iran October 14, 2009 – January 16, 2010 Persian Visions: Contemporary Photography from Iran is an exhibition of more than 60 works of photography and video installations by 20 of Iran’s most celebrated photographers. The exhibition gathers personal perspectives of contemporary Iran filtered through individual sensibilities, while simultaneously addressing public concerns. Iran has long distinguished itself with the spectacular quality and international presence of its visual art and film. With the backdrop of increasing attention given to the art and culture of Iran and the current political crisis in that part of the world, an exhibition with this focus is most timely. In expressing their many different visions of their world, these artists offer a look at both private and public realms. Their perspectives contradict the way many foreign photographers typically capture Iran on film as purely exotic. Shokoufeh Alidousti offers self-portraits and family photographs exploring both cultural and female identity. Esmail Abbasi draws on Persian literature for his subject matter with contemporary notes on the present circumstances in Iran. Shahriar Tavakoli focuses on his family history through a series of portraits capturing the subtleties and mood of the Iranian family. In Koroush Adim’s Revelation series, the images in the exhibition that feature the veil acknowledge this sign of culture, and yet the “revelation” is anything but simple. Shahrokh Ja’fari’s use of unusual spacial rendering in depicting the veiled figure demands that the viewer look harder and think harder about what can be revealed through the visual. The images presented in Persian Visions cannot entirely surmount the physical and cultural distance between Iran and the United States; nevertheless, the exhibition builds a visual bridge that allows for differences, even as it leads viewers to new awareness of other ways of being and seeing. Persian Visions was developed by Hamid Severi for the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, Iran and Gary Hallman of the Regis Center for Art, University of Minnesota, and toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, D.C. This exhibition is supported in part by grants from the ILEX Foundation; the University of Minnesota McKnight Arts and Humanities Endowment; and the Department of Art, the Regis Center for Art, University of Minnesota. Exhibition co-curator Gary Hallman, Associate Professor of Art, University of Minnesota, will give the opening presentation on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 6 p.m. The presentation introduces an overview of the initiation of the project, the staff and director of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, the criteria for the selection of the artists, as well as a sense of the cultural and political climate that shaped both the photographic work and project itself. Selected pieces from the exhibition will provide discussion points illustrating the influences of history, culture, and the political climate on contemporary practice in Tehran. Other programs offered by the Haggerty Museum in conjunction with Persian Visions include: Lunchtime Learning: An Overview of Iranian History with Dr. Phillip Naylor on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 11:30 a.m. Lunchtime Learning: The History of the Movement to Emancipate Women in Iran with Fahimeh Vahdat on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 11:30 a.m. Lunchtime Learning: The Collection of Iranian Ceramics and Artifacts from the Milwaukee Public Museum with Kevin Cullen on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 11:30 a.m. Multimedia Presentation: Object of Violence: Art as Witness with Fahimeh Vahdat on Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 6 p.m.
